DIMPLE LOOKS ON HORRIFIED AS SON SAIF ALI KHAN KISSES GIRLFRIEND DEEPIKA PADUKONE |
Just last week I had
an experience that left me quite taken aback. A friend had feverishly implored
me to help her son’s procure a job. I went all out and got him the interview
despite there being an HR protocol for the job in question. He did go, was made
to wait, was met with, post which to my utter surprise I received a spate of
angry sms’s from his ‘mommy dearest’ annoyed with the fact that her darling son
was made to wait. On further research I found out what I’d been suspicious
about. He’d had a bad divorce, has not been working for some time now, and is
generally finding it difficult to cope. You might already have guessed why!
Yes, a molly coddling, over-protective, helicopter mother with an excessively
attached son?
The truth here is
that a lot of male children, especially in India, are the apple of their
‘mamma’s’ eyes receiving too much attention and nearly royal treatment from
infanthood. Their every need is pandered to and become expecting of the same
pampering and care from the spouse. They are often not allowed to fend for
themselves and are feted, sheltered, and cossetted by the mother with
unconditional love even after their marriage. They rarely think they are wrong
and grow up with an exaggerated sense of self. Mothers are to blame for
pandering to their son's every need, and unfortunately women don't like to date
or be married to men who need to be served and can't take care of themselves.
